At your level, Indranil (i.e., all introductory courses), zero is an even number. Other definitions exist, but not everyone agrees. You don't need to consider alternate definitions about it, at this point in your studies. :cool:

Definition: Any number that is an integer which is divisible by two is said to be even. Does that mean that zero is even? Any integer that is not even is said to be odd. This is the idea of parity, a most important idea in mathematics.
